Brief Explanations
- Melting is a phase change from solid to liquid, not a property of liquid water molecules themselves.
- Molecules in liquids have enough energy to vibrate, rotate, and slide past one another, which gives liquids their fluidity.
- "Getting cold" refers to a temperature change of the substance, not a behavior of individual molecules; molecular motion slows with cooling, but this is not a defining trait of liquid water molecules.
